finally, my one whole week of camping experience has ended.
Kids' science camp followed by the boys' home camp.
now there's only one word i can use to describe my physical and mental state - tired.
but somehow, i'm contented.
particularly the boys' home camp. it was both enjoyable and meaningful. though i got sunburns and many mosquitoes bites from the camp, the meaning of it and the things i learnt offset them all.
it was a pleasure to see the boys enjoying themselves. it was particularly touching when the boys gave us the souvenir made by themselves, which is a scrapbook written with all the things they wanted to say to the volunteers.
and from what they wrote, i can tell that they really enjoyed the camp.
really, it's a kind of feeling that simply can't be described with words alone.
it's a kind of contentment that volunteerism brings me, and it worths the tiredness. =)

and on the last day, all of the volunteers didnt sleep. we spent our night in the bunk playing games and crapping away. i couldnt take it at around 5 plus and fell asleep on the bed that we sat on to play games.

all in all, it was one word - meaningful. and i truly enjoyed it.

sometimes, life is not just about making ourselves happy.
it's about making others happy as well. =)

just saw this on david's blog.

when people get stress, they tend to do something different that they don't normally do. I've heard lots of interesting stories of what people does when they are under great pressure and stress. They

1. sleep longer than they usually do, and sleep at time when they are not sleepy.
2. eat more than they usually do, and eat at time when they are not hungry.
3. talk to themselves.
4. nudge people on msn for no reasons or purposes.
5. start laughing or singing all of a sudden.
6. tears start rolling down uncontrollably all of a sudden.
7. go jogging at wee hours.
8. start throwing tantrum for no obvious reasons.
9. check the calender for the time.

10. This is FOR YOU
(What's the most interesting story you've heard or seen? Feel free to leave a comment)

If I had to tag, I'll tag the following person:
meai

instructions: Just think of 9 most interesting stories of what people do when they are under stress and leave the 10th a question for those whom you want to tag.

first day of Kids' Science Camp is finally over.
my feeling towards it is very neutral. i thought i would be very excited and enthusiastic, but i ended up being so quiet throughout the thing. my gl was the one doing all the screaming and shouting and giving all the instructions, while me as the agl was just standing one side most of the time. only when the gl was not available then i stood out and took charge of things.
all thanks to flu bug.
havent been feeling very well since yesterday night. the sudden change in weather makes me feel so sick. sorethroat and flu all came at one time, and at the very time that i have important project on-going. surprising enough, i'm not the only one who is sick now. chatted with two friends on msn yesterday and found out that they are sick too.

tml kids from another school will come. hopefully things will get better. and seriously, i think the science laboratory part was so interesting la! all the kids were like so amazed by all the experiments.

damn the stupid weather. i was on my way to get my dinner from sis jus now, and it was so so so cold!!!
the cold wind kept blowing and i could feel my body shivering.
i've always preferred hot over cold.
i'd rather perspire under the scorching sun than to shiver in an air-cond room.
lol. sometimes i wonder how on earth am i gonna survive if i were to work overseas one day?

i still have welfare camp in sembawang after the kids' camp.
yeapie!! i need to do things to feel my own existence!! if not i will feel so empty and useless and... lazy and fat! yakks.
though i hate exam period, i do enjoy going to school.
i always think that studying without having to take the exams is such a wonderful thing.
but sad thing is that the probability of this happening is almost close to zero.

anyway, it's three more weeks! i shall enjoy for the remaining days. =D

updates!!
i'm back to ntu. actually jus came back for a meeting today. was thinking of going home again after the meeting. but then i reallie hate rushing, so i decided to spend my night over here in my pathetic hall.
just came back from supper with the gang. and we spent our time crapping and talking nonsense over there at the stall, as usual. lol.

gotta come back on friday for dry run. and monday will be the Kids' Science Camp 2007!!! hmm. hopefully i will be able to settle the kids. hopefully they will be guai guai and won't give us hard time. although this jie jie really likes kids but she bears no tolerance for mischievous kids. hehe.
after that there will be welfare camp at sembawang. and gosh! my head actually assigned me to play with the boys, which means i will be a participant in all the games instead of the organizer. hopefully i will be able to mix well with them. zzz.
hopefully....
